The gain of transposable elements in yeast hybrids does not scale with genetic divergence levels and is most impacted by structural variations and multiple aspects of individual hybrid genetic backgrounds.
A microbiome metabolite alleviates liver steatosis and inflammation, and shows its potential as a therapeutic modality for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Expression of mTORC1 pathway gene variants in mouse medial prefrontal cortex leads to shared alterations in pyramidal neuron morphology, positioning, and membrane excitability but different changes in excitatory synaptic transmission.

Volatile compounds from microbes and food alter epigenetic states by inhibiting histone deacetylases and alter gene expression, slow degeneration in Huntington’s model flies, and slow proliferation of a neuroblastoma cell line.
Investigation of how cells rewire their transcriptional programs during transition from mitotic to meiotic cell fate reveals a two-pronged mechanism for inactivating a key mitotic transcription factor.
Computational and experimental structural biology reveals the structural repertoire of effector proteins produced by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici during infection of tomato.

SNAP25 disease mutations within the synaptotagmin interface impair vesicle priming and cause uncontrolled spontaneous release due to enhanced SNARE:SNARE interactions, whereas a mutation within the SNARE-bundle increases the fusion energy barrier.
